In the year 1855, when I lived
in one Of the southern states,
expressed my surprise to find
people held in slavery under a
republican form of government,
and on account Of that express
sion was ehaoowed as an "abo-
litionist." A few years later, in
1899, when I expressed my sym
rathy for the good people of the
south, was spotted as a "rebel
sympathizer." When. of late, I
spoke against "monopolies," and
expressed my sympathy for the
honest laboring man In his
